The XPCML schema defines several element tags, and each element tag contains attribute tags.
The following table lists the different elements that you can declare and define in your XPCML source files. Each entry in the first column links to the appropriate section of the XPCML schema.
| XPCML tag | Description | Equivalent PCML tag |
|---|---|---|
| doubleParm | Defines a double parameter | data (type=float, length=8) |
| arrayOfDoubleParm | Defines a parameter that is an array of doubles | |
| floatParm | Defines a float parameter | data (type=float, length=4) |
| arrayOfFloatParm | Defines a parameter that is an array of floats | |
| hexBinaryParm | Defines a byte parameter represented in hex | byte (rough equivalent, represented in hex) |
| arrayOfHexBinaryParm | Defines a parameter that is an array of hexBinaries | |
| intParm | Defines an integer parameter | data (type=int, length=4) |
| arrayOfIntParm | Defines a parameter that is an array of integers | |
| longParm | Defines a long parameter | data (type=int, length=8) |
| arrayOfLongParm | Defines a parameter that is an array of longs | |
| packedDecimalParm | Defines a packed decimal parameter | data (type=packed) |
